Abstract: | An account of the publishing history of four picturebooks with texts by the major 20th century British author, Graham Greene, and illustrations by Dorothy Craigie and, later, by Edward Ardizzone. concluding section questions whether the texts of three other books, nominally by Dorothy—or “David”—Craigie, ought more accurately to be ascribed to Graham Greene. Brian Alderson is a distinguished critic, bibliographer and author of children's books. He has curated many exhibitions and is involved in sundry organisations, such as the Beatrix Potter Society and the Children's Books History Society. He is children's book consultant to The Times Newspaper. He lives in Richmond, North Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom. |
